[suggestion] Increase friendlist size.

Post by Fifi »

I have a suggestion about the friend list - could we made it much bigger or just remove the size limit completely?
I know it's already bigger than vanilla client one, but I just managed to made it full again. :c

You can have 1024 friends in your list. You have more than 1024 friends in Teeworlds?

Note that clan doesn't matter for friends anymore, so you can just add a player once and they can change their clan and stay your friend. Also note that you can add an entire clan as your friend by leaving the name empty and only writing the clanname in clan.

:o Wow, I didn't knew it's that large already.
I remember most tee friends even without the list, so I use friendlist to don't forget all nice tees, which I played some time with. ;) That's probably how it got so large.
I also play since few years (almost 3) and I don't want to remove old friends, because they are still visiting teeworlds sometimes. ^^
... And as a result I ended up with this problem. Sorry. xD

PS. To recognize tee even if clan is different, its clan field have to be empty? Or does it works even if clan field is set? (that won't solve the problem in my case, but really thanks for explaining it, because I was wondering since I saw this in changelog :) )

Doesn't need to be empty.

Thanks. :)

Hmm, so is there any chance of that being implemented? :c

I think 1024 is enough. If you really want to, you can change it yourself and compile: https://github.com/def-/ddnet/blob/DDRa ... ends.h#L28

Okok. ;)
Thank you, I wasn't sure if I won't damage other places in code when I change it without reading the whole clientside stuff. ^^

^^ I never tried modding the client, I only edited server sources. And because it's a huge C/C++ app, I'm always afraid that everything depends on everything without encapsulation. :D

Sorry for bumping the thread again, but one thing bothers me - if my DDNet Client got auto-updated, will it wipe out the extra friendlist entries from the config file or will it just ignore them when loading it? The same question applies to a situation when I'll forgot that I haven't build the modified version since the update and add something to the config file, thus forcing the client to save it.
